4DEATH OF SIR ARTHUR MORGAN.It is with deepest sorrow that we have to refer to the losswhich your Association and our State generally suffered byreason of the lamentable death of Sir Arthur Morgan. who forsix years ,had occupied the position of President. and duringuthat period had assisted your institution to an extent littleimagined by those who are not bhrou.ght into relation with hisNational Association work. A comparatively young man, andwith, apparently, many useful years ahead, his demise came asa great shock to the public of Queensland. Although in 1915ill-health prevented our late President from ocnupyin' his,fficial position, he felt so much better this year that li wasin constant attendance at the Show, and presided over thevarious official functions in a manner which made us believetlhat a return to his usual good health was assured. We, inconjunction with the rest of t'he State, were deeply shocked andgrieved w'hen news of his death was communicated. To LadyMorgan and members of her family, we extend a sympathywhich cannot be expressed in words.RESIGNATION OF MR. T. F. FAUSET.It is with regret that we 'have to announce the resignationof Mr. T'. F. Fauset as a member of Council. Mr. Fauset'sconnection with the National Association as a mImei),hr ,'Council had extended over 1S years, and had started at a periodin its history when, owing to severe financial stress. Councillorshad to assume duties which embraced every phase of Showmanagement, even to some of those now undertaken by Inciiajiiosand labourers. At a valedictory tendered to Mr. Fauset byhis fellow Councillors, appreciative reference was made to thesplendid services wihich Mr. Fauset had rendered to the Associationduring his long term. special stress being laid uponI tliuntiring and unselfish assistance which he had rendered towardsbuilding the Association to its present highly important standing.To mark their personal esteem, his "comrades on theCouncil" presented Mr. Fauset with a handsome souvenirsuitably engraved.ELEOTION OF MR. HARRY BROOKES.Mr. Harry Brookes, of Glentainer, Dalveen, was in Octoberelected to the vacancy on t'he Council caused by the resignationof Mr. T. F. Fauset.

cil. In conclusion, his Excellency said their first thought to-day must bethe winniing of the war, and their last man and last shilling had beenpledged to that end. The second care was that in the years of peace afterthe war, they should build up an even greater Australia, which would bea greater asset to the Empire, and which would add to the high securitytwhich the E:npire afforded, a security built upon a solid foundation offree institutions, healthy famnily life, and sound public policy-a h;ghsecurity for the peace, welfare, and happiness of mankind. (Applause.The Chairman aead a message from Sir Hamnilton Goold-Adatas, whostated that he joined most heartily iin the welcome to Sir R. ('. anid LadyMunro-Ferguson, and wished the Association every success with itscarnival. Sir Arthur explained that Sir Hiamilton Goold-Adams hadgone to Sydney to visit the .State Governor there, and had hben forbiddenby his medical adviser, because of illness, to travel back in timeto oe present that day. He would, however, return that night. irHamilton took a very keen interest in the affairs of the association,which was'doing a great deal, not only to settle people n the la-ild.but also to make them prosperous. (Applause.)The health of the State Governor, proposed by Sir ArthuIr M org'an.was enthusiastically drunk.Mjr. A. T. Noyes briefly proposed "Tlhe Ministry of Q(ueensland."Mr. Theodore, responding, referred t o what lie considered the (;Gvernmennt'sdluty to be in the present international crisis. The par'.m'oiiiiiitnecssity at the piresent time was the concentration of all the toreswithin the Empire upon the winning of the war. There was no excusefor keeping back any part of their whole strength. Unless they putforth the whole of their might in the carrying through of the warto a successful issue all their efforts during the last two years wouldbe rendered nugatory. It was the duty of the Government, therefore,to see that the whole tof thelir resour'ces were used to win tlie war.After the war they would he faced with trade and industrial problemswhich such gatherings as that could deal with. Old time shibbolethsmust go, and with them the pernicious practice of buying in the che apest market, and selhing in the dearest. The safety of the Empire mustbe the first consideration. GeriaiIny no IIonger must be allowed to cupturetheir natural ,resources and their trade. The dominance of Germanymust be broken for ever not only on the battlefield, but in theworld's markets. ((Applause). Other problems, however, must notbe ineglected by the Government. Parliament would meet shortly,and probably would sit till the end of the year. He believed that thep)rogramme for the coming session would satisfy all sections of theconumunity. (Applause.)Mr. Theodore then proposed the National Association, and said it:influence was conferring a permanent benefit on the State. (Applause).Mr. ,John Macdonald (Chairmnimi ) replied. He said the council was moretha'r pleased to be able to present such a fine exhibition of the products ofQueensland. In his opiuiiinii tne show on the whole was superior toanything seen before. What with the drought and the military usewhich had been made of the show grounds, the council had their doubts,at one time about seeing a show at all, but the military authoritiesreadily met them. He thought the district exhibits were finely staged,and he was glad that Mr. and Mrs. Trevitt, who had roome up witha New 8outh Wales display, had carried off the blue ribbon. He alsocomgratulated Crows Nest on winning the B grade. The associationspecially appreciated the assistance of the G(h \einent in providing departmentalexhibits. He believed that this friendly attitude was typicalof the feeling of all Queensland towards the associntion. HE TR'STED

THE FRIENDLINESS WOULD EASE THE COUNCIL'S TASK INPERSUADING THE GOVERNMENT TO FACILITATE THE EX-T ENDING OF THE GROUNDS AND THE CLOSING OF THE ROADTHAT SEPARATED THE TWO PARTS OF THE SHOW GROUND.The company then adjourned to the show grounas.REVIEW OF EXHIBITS.Live Stock Exhibits.In the Council Stewards' Reports which appear elsewhere,,detailed reference is made to live stock exhibits, and as asupplement, we have very much pleasure in laying emphasisupon tlhe large increase of live stock exhibits which this yearfaced the judges. Although in the Cattle Section the entrieswere only 54 more than on the previous year, that increase,owing to many of he ,classes (su'ch as herd bulls) consisting ofthree or more animals, brought tihe actual increase of stockup to over 300. Apart from the increased number of exhibitspresent, the sales effected endorse the 'opinion of the expertsin attenlance, that the quality of the animals shown was of thevery highest standard, and the stock salesmen were emphaticin their expressions of opinion that the 1916 Show wlas a recordin number ,and quality of stock offered for sale, and in numberof ,buyers present.HIorses show ldecreas(ed entries as compared with last year;but this is explained in Mr. E. Baynes' S'how Report. Thegeneral opinion expressed was that the quality of the animalss'hown had an upward tendency. Veterinary examinations andstud bhook reqluirements although affecting tlle number of exhibits,is undoubtedly having a beneficial effect upon tihequality of the exhibits now coming forward.Sheep (British Breeds.)('lasses for exhibit in the Stud Sheep Section were confinedto Lincolns, English Leicesters, Border Leicesters, RomneyMarsles, and Dorset Horns, the total number of entiies 1)eingi114 as compared with 110 in 1915.The Sheep Judge (Mr. W. G. Brown, Government Sheepand Wool Expert), adopted the "Point" system in arriving at'his adjudications, and apparently with results which werehighly satisfactory to exhibitors. In his report, Mr. Brownementions that although drought 'conditions had been sever,.the majority of the exhibits were of high quality and goodenough to hold their own at ,any Show in Australia, this applyingparticularly to the Border Leicester and Lincoln exhibits.Swine.This section is fully referred to in tihe Council Steward'sreport appearing on another page.

i-L r - C..ri -i -I-Poultry..Exhibits totalled 1,221 as compared with 918 on the previousyear, arid the quality of the exhibits in this class wert.so good that more sales were effected than on any previousoccasion.Dogs.As usual were well represented, the competitors includingmost of the Ohampions in this and Southern States. Judgingoccupied the whole of one day, and many of the ,classes wereso even in merit that the judge had considerable difficulty inseparating them.District Exhibits.Considerable interest always attaches to the District Exhibitcompetitions. This year we Ihad two "A" Grades, onefrom the Western Districts of New South Wales scoring 874points, the other staged by the South Coast of QueenslandDistrict Display Association, whose total points num'bered 852.By the very narrow margin of 22 points in a possible of 1,390,the N.S.W. competitor thus won first 'honours. Tihe small marginof points by which N.S.W. won from Queensland will, nodoubt, have a stimulating effect upon the losing district whejinext they ,meet.In the "B" Grade, four districts competed. Crowns Nestwinning with the splendid score of 8O8 points, followed byFassifernl with 761 points, then Kingaroy with 733, and Gynmpiewith 732. Last year Gympie took .pride of place withCrows Nest last, this year there was a complete reversal ofhonours.'One Farm Competition.The competitors for this year were. Mr. O. C. Williams ofPlainby, Crows Nest, who scored first honours with an aggregateof 370 points; Mr. Win. Allen of Ohatsworth, 'Gymlpie.being second with 342; and Mr. J. A. Nystrom of Booie, Kingaroy.third with 328. These exhibits arounsed considerableinterest, and throughout the week were surrounded by interestedspectators wh'o were loud in their praise of the value ofthe competition as demonstrating the capabilities of one lmanand ihis family, and also the capabilities of his farm. Thecompetition was, perhaps, doubly interesting by reason thatthree far separated portions of Queensland were represented.District Fruit Exhibition.A departure was made from methods adopted at past showsin connection wit~ the Fruit exhibition, when for several yearsthe whole of the fruit display had been collected in the distrietsembraced within the North Coast 'Fruit area. It was felt byquite a number of those contributing to past displays that their

espective districts did not receive credit to the extent thattheir contributions warranted. Recognising the justness of tlhiscontention, it was decided this year to divide Queensland intofourteen districts. each of which was invited to compete for ithe£100 prize money. Five of the fourteen competed, first honoursgoing to M'ontvil'le with 111 points, Landsborough and GlassHouse Mountains, ,and Buderim Mountains district each scored90 points, Palm woods 81, and Gympie and district 75. In. additionto the prize ,money of £100 itlhe National Association'scertificates were awarded as follows for the best ex'hibits mentioned:-Pineapples:Landsborough and Glass House Mountain:Bananas: Bulderin Mountains; (Citrus fruit: Montville;Fruit packed for Market: Montville.Horticultural Display.The Horticultural exhibits this year surpassed all previousdisplays held in connection with our Show. lThe new HorticulturalPavilion, which measures about 160ft. long by 30 ft. wide,and built like a huge bush-'house, was used for the first time andpacked from end to end with one of it:he most marvellous floralcollections ever submitted. iThe .Sweet Pea display was absolutelyastounding and experts from the 'Soutthern States statedmost emphatically that they doubted if in ithe whole of Austratiabl'ooms of similar size and wealth of colouring could b,grown. In the District Horticultural Competition the StepllhensDistrict won first honours for the second year in succession.Wallumbilla Vegetables.A display of 3: tons of vegetables grown in the Wallumbill-iDisitrict on land w'hich, until recently, was infested byirickly pear, was an object lesson, not only on the subje ,t ofthe worth of these lands. but more so as a demonstration ofthe 'big hearts of tlliose settlers who undertook to reclaim fromit'he pear scourge the farm lands which are now giving suchIprofitable returns. No better vegetables were ever seen inAustralasia th th tliose comprising ,this exhibit, size and quli'alityleaving nothing to be desired.Cottage Garden Competition.An innovation in Show compeititions was introduced lastyear in tlhe form of a competition for ('Cottage Gardens, openonly to amateurs, and met with such excellenit support that itwas decided to ,continue the coompetition this year. Sixteengardens .competed, the first prize going to Mr. J. Smitlh 'of RedHill, who scored 52 points out of a total of 65; Mrs. E. Zimnitatof Zillmere, being second, wivtJh a score of 50; and Mr. C. Shortof Toowong, third, with 47 points. In the report submittedby tlhe Judge, Mr. JT. F. Bailey, Government Botanist, he writes:

"The garden which agained the greatest number of points was astriking example of patience and industry. Here ithe ownerhad great difficulties to face in forming a garden, owing to thesteep ,grade of his ,land, which, however, was not 'the onlydrawback; the soil available being mostly of a gravelly nature.It is hardly the place one would expect to find good root ,crops;but it would be hard to improve on the quality of the carrots,Swede turnips, and potatoes grown by Mr. Smith, and it is tobe hoped that some of he produce of the garden will find itsway to the Show tables this week. The garden placed second,is worked under difficulties of a different nature to the lastmentioned,in the fact that no water is laid on, and the ownerspends a couple of hours each day 'when necessary, in wateringwith the aid of a can. The show of flowers was very creditable,and the vegetables were ,good, the cauliflowers callingfor special mention. 'The third garden in order of merit, .hada good variety of flowers, including a fine display of Sweet Peasof splendid quality. Some of the vegetables were particularlyfine, notably leeks, cabbage, and rhubarb." These competitionswere instituted with the object of encouraging holders ofsmall areas of land to convert portions into kitchen gardens,and, perhaps. thus enable them contribute a portion of theamount saved to one or other of the Patriotic Funds, this aspectbeing quite apart fronm the beautification of premises, whichwould result from the healthy rivalry introduced.Tropical Display.Mr. J'oseph Campbell of Gossypium Park Estates, andKamnma. Cairns, staged a m'ost interesting display of the tropicalproducts of North Queensland. Samnples of many of thevery fine fibres, together with examples of cottJ'is grown o,.the Estate constituted the principal portion of the exhiiit.Possibly the most valuable items included were examples ofpaper pulp made from fibres, grasses and cotton, which growprofusely on a large proportion of our Northern coast lands.We understand that Mr. Campbell has, sinc our Show, so demonstratedto, and so thoroughly .convinced, the Paper Manufacturersin Victoria and New South Wales, that large ordershave been received for the pulp, wlhich he purposes 'manufa'-turing at Kamma.Butter and Cheese Competitions.The entries in the Butter and Cheese Sections at this year'sShow were most satisfactory, being in advance of all previousrecords. This was remarkable, as well as encouraging, whenthe existing dry time through wlhich the dairying industry lhasbeen passing, was taken into consideration. 'The total Butterentries numbered 121, and Cheese 146, the latter being moretfhan double those of last year.

Baconand Hams.The cormetition was keen in this section. Ftor the best six.sides of 'Bac , f~actory cured, first laward w-et to the J. C. HuttonlPpty. of Brisbane, with 96 poits out of a possible 10;Qlueensland Co-operative Bacon Coy., urrarie, wining secondIhonours wvith a total of 93 poits.

16Government Experimental Farm Exhibit.The exhibit made by the Department of Agriculture andStock presented a number of new and interesting features.T lhe design of the Court was very imposing, and, we understand,was the result lof some of the ideas collected at thePanama Exposition. Visitors were impressed, and congratulatedthe Department's designer upon the very Ihandsome resultachieved. We cannot ,adequately do justice in this reportto the innmmense value of this display from both agriculturaland pastoral standpoints, but we oan assert tihat the wholearrangements fulfilled to the leter he ,objec of the Department,viz.-the scientific education of the miaal on the land. Thework of the Department, as brought before the public in thismagnificent exihibition, illustrated how vital an intimate knowledgeof production was to both our old and new settlers. Nosection of our Show presented m'ore interesting features thanwere shown here, and throughout the wh.ole six days it wascrowded with students and members of the general public.The incalculable value 'of the education which is thus convevydto the man on the land, is recognised by the majority of oursettlers who have no diffidence in expressing their appreciationof its good work.Fisheries Court.A remarkably fine display of food fisthes formed the leadingfeature of the exhibition made by the Licensed Fishermen inthe ('ourt devoted to that branch .of our industries. Schnaipper,mullet, king, giant mackerel, cod, taylor, bream, flatihead, andevery known edible fish was entered for competition. The noncompetitiveportion of the exhibit could not well be improvedlupon. 'The cetntre of the 'court was occupied by a large Dugongweighing 8cwt., accompanied *by a baby dugong, both frozensolid. Grouped around these were different coloured fish inblocks of ice. Dredge and bank oysters were also shown, and adisplay of preserved fish kindly len't by tihe Amateur Fisher-,men's Association, added to the educational value of this highlyinteresting exhibition of our food fishes. Examples of tinnedQueensland fish were also shown. The credit for the artisticarrangement of the wihole display, which was much admired, isdue to Mr. J. H. Stevens, Inspector of Fisiheries, who. with hisvery capable staff, put in several weeks of exceedingly hardwork to make the Court the attractive feature attained.Intelligence and Tourist Department.The Court allotted to the Queensland Intelligwnce anti Tourist 'Bureau this year had, perhaps, more interest for the averagevisitlor than any other section of the Show. The magnificentcollection of oil paintings and photographs illustrating Queenslandscenery, which had been hung at the Paniama Exposition,I

-were displayed in this Court, and, perhaps, none were moresurprised than Queenslanders to learn that in their own State,scenery of the nature depicted by means of these pictures, 'wascontained within easy reach. In -addition there was displayedQueenland timbers and minerals, and Mr. J. Stuart Nesbit hadon view a collection of gems from Sapp'hiretown worth £4,000.TPhe Department's literature of value to seekers for l.and, andalso tourists, was profusely (listributed to those who purposedmaking use of the intelligence t'hus supplied.Aboriginees Court.This court, as usual, attracted a constant flow of visitors.The design of tihe court and arrangement of exhibits, showedconsiderlahle improveentt 11)o1 the efforts of previous years.(h n section was dvote(1 to the work of the Missions, and thecentral stands to the work of the Government AboriginalSdhools. At the lack of the Court w~'as a realistic group ofpalms, under which a guywih was erected, t~he inmates beingfull-blooded natives from the Ha ranaha h Settl tlelmt. I)isplaysof work from the several Presbyterian Missions, Mapoon, includedcrochet and Red ('ross work of a quality which surprisedvisitors, and was solely the work of the aboriginal womeniul girls. From Weipa some heautifuil specimens of needleworkwere s'hown, together with leather work 'and nativeweapons. From Aurukan, Yarra'hah, and Mona Mona camecollections of native nats, weapons. fire sticks, sand other contrivancesused by the aboriginals. The exercise lbooks. copyho4ks, garments. samplers, home-n made bread, scones, etc., comparedfavourably with similar work and cooking shown by thewhite sisters of those aboriginal women and girls. Altogetherthe work in this section was a revelation, and is a magnificenttestimony to the good work leing colnlductedl hy our A'lyoriginalT)epartmnent. assisted hv the various M1issions interested.Visits to Shows.l)uring the year members of Council and officers visited 2!)shows, viz. :-Barealdine, Huidaherg, Heaudesert, Brookfield,Beenleigh, B'oonah, ('ahoolture, ('lifton, Glen Inines, Jpswvich,lKillarney, Kilcoy, Iowvood, lismore, .Melbourne, Maryborough,Mirwillumbah, iMarburg, Naibour, North Pine, Rosewood,Sydney, 'Tenterfield, Toogoolcawah, 'l'to oomba , Warwick,Woodford, Woibhye, and ill mere.Retiring Members of Council and Auditors.You are called upoii to elect officers iin placa of the following,who retire:-President:-Mir Arthur Morgan, Kt.

22COUNCIL STEWARDS' SHOW REPORTS.MR. ERNEST BAYNES' REPORT.In making my Awunal Report of the Horses at the recent Exhibition,it gtitves ne pleasure to say that they were wel up t'o the high standardusually seen in our Ring.Ow'ng to the severe drought maging ov'er the greater part of the Stateuntil a month or so before our entris closed, they were, perhaps, less thanin some former years, but what we lost in numbers, we made up inquality.In the Ag'ed Blood Stalilion class there were 13 Stud Book horcebagood lot,The first prize aiid champion going to Mr. M. F. Yore's'Sunripe" (imp.), by Sundridge-Full Ripe. "Lily Veil" (imp.) byMavtoagon-&Chifon nreceiving the reserve chaupon, and 'Borghese"(dmp.), Highly C(omniended. Amongst the unplaed 'horses were somethat, properly meted, would certainly improve our general utility stock.Mr. I. J. Afoore's "Loch Raven," by "Simmer,'' from "LochLena" again won the Championship for Blood Mares.Owing to the absence thorough sickness of His Exce~ldency Sir HamiltonJ. (oold-Adams, who was to have judged the Blood stock, Mr. C. E.McDougall acted, and the thanks lof the Associiation are due to him forcoming to our assistance at the last imoment. I am pleased to say HisExcellency was welJ enough to visit t'h'l. Grounds during t.he last two orthree (lays of the Exhibition.The Draught Horses were fewer than last year, but in the class 4years a'nd over, some v'erV fine horses wrre shown. That fine horse,"Royal Scotch," bred in New Zealand, won 'his fourth ('hallionshlli) insuiccession. He is certainly one of the tinest horses in Aiustralia, andv'e'ry hard to beat. He is a Ihandsome browi hors', a. good mover, withsuiuerb carriage. The Sec ondl and 'l'hird horses, *King George," 'and"'B'itish Hope,"'' and ''Radical"' were bred in New Zealand and Victoria,* King Geyrge"' ' rciving the Reserve C(hanpionsIihip.The ('haipion ,Mare, Mo,"'' was alother New Zelander, and wasexhibited by Mr. Stokes. ,She was foaled in 1910 111 is by 'Baron Bold.'I am sorry to say that sonic of the' Queensland bred Draughts werenot. of a. vtry 'high class, and I amni afraid lIreeders are not paying as muchattention to the Imares as they shuuld. We have the sires, but the avresaT ouIr wknes8.'I'he ('haiO Trotting or Pacing Stallion was won by Mr. H. t.C'ihb 's "King ('ole,' ' a very handsome hoiee, and a great pacer, hinreor(rd boling 2 inns. S 3/ths sees. The Reserve C(hanpion going toSmith Bros., ''Sparkling Bells.""Coy Bells,'' by 'Sparkling Bells,' was first in the three year old,beating last year's Ch.aimpion, "JIdlewood." ''Coy Bells was bred an iiexhibdt'le by Mr. L. H. Ja'ksoln. The ("hampion Mare was Mr. H. .C'ribb's " Vivience Hope,'' by ' King l 'ole"''-"'Vanquish.''" S'h is onlya young imare and very fast. Reserve ('hamnpion went to W. J. Young 's'QueenslandBells.'"'King ('ole" gave us a taste of his quality wuheui he attempted tolower our track mteuord of 2.17 established last year by ''Derby Chiuintes.''He was well driven, and if a more suitable pacemaker had been procuredhe would have broken the *record as it was he managed to equalit-and with another stride het would have lifted our £100.There were only two Pors's shown in the eles for Coacers, butas neither were, in the opinion of the judge, bred on coaching lines, noaward was made.

The track, in spite of the hard work, remained good to the end ofthe week, and refleeted ereid'it om our Ground Supeintend'ent, Mr. McMillen.A word of praise should also be extended to our Ring Steward, Mr.B. L. George, an 1 tihe general staff for their good work during the week.In conclusion, aftiejr carefully observing our horses and atudying what'pas seen on our Grounds, one is struck with the many varied classekof horsees*een,--some very good, but quite la numiber of no particulartype or class, clearly showing that many people are breeding with novery d'efinite ideas of 'type, sand whic, 'if llowed to go son, will flood thisState wit'h 'a lot of nwondescripts. If 'a little of the thought and attentionhad to be given to horse-breeding that has been bestowed on thesheep, cattle, and othor live stock in this State, we would have the finesthorses in the waoald, 'as we have all the natural advantages of coiuntryand elimiate to rear strong w\'ell-gr1ow n horse's of any breed.The promised '8talli'oai Tax Bill has not been introlduced, hut wh'cn pnsa'"d it will he a pirotection to the owners of good stallions against theowners of inferior horses kicking in breeding, type and conformnation,many 'of which are at present standing for public stervice. at a low foe.As it .is at present, owners of good horses get very little enceo ragemeinnt,and 10o protletifon by the (iov'ernmineiit from thcse niongrelis. I know it isa difficult ratter to interfere wilth a man's private property, hot I dothink that unless a .horse possess all tlhe necessary quatlifieations to'gether with soundness, type and conrfirait ion, he should n'ot be illowedto stand for public servir'eh an11d shioull not be allowed to receive thepremiums or benefits fromn the Mtnlloh Tax. iMost of our biggest 1111(1 be.tbreeders lare in favour of the Bill, but naturally there is great (liversityof opinion as to its provisoilns anti conditions.It is with regret that I have to report that a very large proportion-of the wimers at our recent Exhibition we're bred abroad or in otherStates. In days gone by we could more thou hold our own. There is,in spite of Ilo0'or truction, a big demand for good horses suitable for mili-Vary purposes for India and other countries, to say nothing of the localdemand for draughts and general utility horses for our own use. It isinter(ewting to noel in' this connection that America .upplied Great Britiananti France (luring the first atwenty-one rnumths of the war with t00,o00horseq and 150,000 mules, at a cost of over £3,000,000.Speaking of mules, the breeding of them might be worth the (onsideraitionof the astoralist of this Stute. Years age they were bred aboutSouthern Queenslsnd, but for sonmc reason abandoned. The breeding of'them is being revivied 'again in North Queensland. One breeder, Mar. J.8. Love, imiported about three years ago sociie S'panisih Jacks, he is Iunidetand breeding for the Jadian market, and his exaimiple might beworth following.As part of the schillne of our Natinal Defence, it is .to be hopedthe Government will1 seriously consider the importa'ace of the horse breedingindustry. The National Association is alwaIys pIrepared to assist inevery possible manmIner, and to hba k up any sehenme to improve the stocekof this State.(Signed) ERNEST BAYNES.REPORT ON TROTTERS.III this sectiomi tihe Stud cleases were of excellent quality. 'J'noluhmampion Trotting Stal'lkm, King ('ole,'' and ObhamuIpionI Trotting MI'ir,"Vivian HoPe,'' were both lte inmportations from New Zealand by Ma.H. 8. Cribb of Ipswich. "King Cole ' (lne mtile Lace record in NewZealand of 2 anins. '3/5the secs. is the record for Australasia. This hors..will be a great a((lquiSitin to Queensland. "King Cole'' only reachedhere in June l.st aftkr a long boat trip froium New Zealand. 'His prepirationfor the Brisbane sLhw, which opened oa 14th August, wmie a very

short one, still this great horse paced one mile on Friday, 18th August,in 2 min. 17 sees., thus equalling tfhe track record established by " Derby')himles'" last year, which, all things considered, was a great perf'ormiiance.The National Association, by offering such liberal prizes, have for anumber of years attracted one or more of the very best trotting studbook stallions from other States to attempt to lower the Exhibition trackrecord. The record 'has bleen reduced lurino' the past few years from2 min. 27 sees to 2 min. 17 'ses.-(-1) seconds in ten years. The attemptsuave nall been good and intereting to the public. Most of the sies arenow at stud duty in Queensland. thus th'e National Association have.cconLplished what it intended to do. viz.:-benefit this State in thebreeding of light harness horses, and the truer to type, the mnore profit.Yble to the hreedcrs, and the better asset to the State.(Sign'ed) C. R. PICKWOliTH.MR. A. T. NOYES' REPORTSTI'D BEEF CATTLEThe Stud Beef (attle exhibits were mnin~'ifieot. Never in the history'of the Associa'tioii have such nuumbers cuiupceted, an'd when it is realisedtnait the best products of the best herds in Australia were on view aindthat the quality .of th.e exhibits had never been surpassed, it will be admittedthat. tJhlerre is no occasion to qualify my opening remarks.A ramblC UImongst the exhibits made it hard to Conceive tshat only afew ioiontih prior to the Show we were wrestling with severest droughtconditionn-cnditions that had caused heavy losses in sheep, 'horses andcattle. The number and qunlity of the animals shown was eloquentproof that Queensland can challenge coniparisonin stock raising with anypart of Australia.In the Shorthorn section we had exhibits from the herds of most ofthe old, and quite a numiber of new exhibitors including such well-knownbreeders as Messre. C. E. McDougall, J. R. Lomax, Harry Brookes, JohnColins & Sons, J. Burgess, T. B. Murray-Prior, J. Willianmsn, the UrangelineCoy, O. J. Booker, J. McGregor, J. H. Doyle, the Callandoon Northgedine Coy., C. Jk Booker, J. McGregor, J. H. Doyle, the CalIhandoon NorthIn the Herefords, as usual, Mrs. E. Lumley Hill, and Messrs. J. H.McConnel and (on, were the principal exhibitors, closely followed byMeieasrs. Tindal' and ,ons, J. Sparkes, S. J. Everdell, A. R. Atthow, andChandler and Longwill.In the Iusser Oaittle ection, a bull and three heifers were shown byMr. J. T. Turner, The Holmwood, Neurum, and critics spoke very highlyof the posibilities of this' breed.The ex'hibit'oes of Aberdeen Angus cattle lincluded Measrs. Donald-Gunn of Bioolarnel, G. C. Oherk of Talgai, and J. A. *Melntosh of Mountside.Both in the Sussex and Aberdeen Angus classes the exhibits wereof superb quality and had many atdmirers.FAT STOCK.The fat stock exhibits were in eviery sense satisfactory, no clearerproiof of this can be advanced than by reference to the result of thesailes, which were effected at advances on antieip~atmed prices. One beast,weighing 2,03tlbs., ehanged hands for £42, whilst a pen of three bullcksexhibited by the Callandoon Estate, was sold, .two at £33 5s., andone 'at £29 5s. Prices for other competing bulocks ranged froma £295s. down to £18 l*r head.The A.M.E. Company bought Messrs. Moore Bros. winning pen offreezer buiocks, and have forwarded the 'caeases to the SniithfieldMarkets, London, where they will be exhibited before being cuit up.Appenmed are particulars of the weights of the carcases and bye-products.(Signed) A.

Ooy. for a pen of 10 fat lambs most suitable forexport, to weigh 28 to 40 lbs. dreesed weight, irresjc'tive of all i'reed,to be judged for conformation, quallity, and depth of flesh.

Shelton of the law keshu r c(llege.N.S.W., is an enthuna-stic believer in the possibilities of ( Quceirsnsla asa pig-raising country. He Ic sumitued up his i pressions ns follows:-' Thereis no doubt that the pig industry in Queensla nd should he of very mlclarger dimensions than it is considering the profit to be made from theseanimale, land the cheanopess with which they are produed. It is ;dmuittedthat they entail a lot of lalour, but t.here is uo reason wihv farmersshould not pay mtiore attention to the production of the htter cuIasses.The bacon facories throughout the Commonwealth require grnter quan -tities. They are prepared to pay the highest market rutes for the bestqualities, and tey will meet and assist the frmer in every possible way,inchuding the giving of infonriationi as to the types ilesired. When it isconsidered that the average sow is eapable of producing at last2U pigsper annum, each worth at Least £1 at birth, or soon after, one has someidea of the profits offering. A sow that does not produce 1i( to 20 pigsa year should be discarded, and replaced with sometlh-immg that will."The judge is very emphatic on this point, which Ihe says is no meretheory. 'Po illutrate this, he points to the case of a sow in pig in .lanuary,farrowing in April eight pigs or mnor'c. Before the end of the yearthe*ia pigs are worth at least £3 a piece. The now goes in pig againin July, and farrows in October, this being 'her second litter for theyear. Taking, of this amount, 12 us actual profit, tshat leaves a veryfair margin over all working expenses, 'aind an excellent profit for thefarmer. 'Po do this, feleid must be produced cheaply, hence it should begrown on the farm as much us possible, and by using sukimi Iilk, if it isavailable. In ordinary seasons there should be little difficulty in keepingup a food supply of assize, wuorne, barley, root crops, &c. Pork pigsare more saleable in the cities, and the supply of porkers will probably bemaintained by those using .hotel and .restaurant waste flood anird othercheap foods obtainable only in the city. No better type than the Berkshirecan be found to use Mr. Shelton said, as the basis for porkers orbaeo'ners, on which other types can be crossed. For this purpose eitherthe Tamiworth lor the middle &rkshire seem to be eminenitly suited. Thissmall Yorkdhire and the Poland China in our wanmu climate are not (luitfas suitable, as they suffer from the effects of heat. The judge addedthat, with the present high prices, pigs were Inever inure profitable, anrdeverything points to a continuance of these values.Mressrs. Macfarlane Bros. won the Chamuionship hlonours with theirBerkshire Board, 'Onward,'' uand ecured tihe Herd Book Ribbon, whitfor the Imuproved Berkshire Boar th e exhihit of the (1ouOmd Hospitalfor 'the Insane won the coveted honour. .Mesi s.

Tve neceslsity for taking oction for tiheimrovmen~t of hiorse breeding is very apparent, and if Auatralia takosthe initiative without loss of time, she is like'ly to benlefit niateiialy.At presen, a large innbor of inferior stallions are bred frn, partlyfront ignorance and partly through dliinclination to pay a few pounds forthe ervie of a suitable horse.

The impr'ovenicnt effected in aeroplanes, arnioured cars, and motortraction generally, will exert an influence over military requirements,but as far as can be learnt, the number of horses which will be requitredfin future wars are not likdly to be decreased; in fact, the probabilitiesare f(hat they will be wanted in larger numbers. This being -so, it becomuiesa national necessity to foster the great resources which exist in Australia,and to ensure tihnt the millions which were diverted to Amecirien anddlewhere, should be in future 'spent in Australia.It may be 'of interest to note thta in the first 21 months of thewar, the British 'overn'men t purc'hased appcox iantely f .00,)00 horsesand 170,000 mruels at a cost sof £32,000,000. The contribution of GreatBritain and Ireland to the total number has been .about 150.000, 'of wfhiehIreland has contributed 23,000. I would 'like to mention here that thesefigures and other militair fasctes were supplied to me by officers of highstanding in the Australlian and British forces. It is 'n deplorable fact thatone of these officers visited Australia just recently, an'd was prepared tospend severall millions 'of pounds ii buying hlorses, but could only spendtlha'lt the amount, simply because we could not supply the horses up toarmy rdquirements. It is advisable to accentuate the fact that therteis no necessity to increase the numnber of ihorses bred, rather, the revere,the object 'to be aimed at is to raise the standard.There is a very vaiuable euggestion icar the end of the list of decisionsarrived at, and that is, "with the view 'of the elimiuation ofworthless and inferior horses, the exportation of 'horse-flesh as an articleof food Whould be encouraged." .This is double-ged . It would supplyoar A'llins with cheap meat, and help 'us to get rid of a lot of worthlessculls. There are in Queentlaand about 700,000 horses, about one-third ofwhich we could export with adv'an'tage. From purely sentimental reasonsBritishem do not eat horse flesh, but the continental nations hvi' nuobjection to it. The .meatworks here are prepared 'to treat 'it.The final suggestion, that. of mu'le breeding, is a most implortant one.The average Australian .does not 'like 'a male, but it is from want ofknowledge of his good points. I will give a fewl- extracts fronm a letterfrom an officer 'in the War Office, dated 1(ith September, to Colonel Peucocke:-"Re the future requirements of armies, I gathe' that the day ofthe cav'ltry is by no means past, that thoug'h they will be supported I'nimoured cars anid cyclists, the latter cannot leave the roads and ommly'horsemen can. The size 'of armuies have so vastly increased that thenumber of Ihoses required for 'ttheir maintenance will be extraor-dimnrilvbig. 'The Australian riding horse 'is, of course, the right sort, heinglargely thoroughbred, but their lighmt draught 'horses are, I believe, of avery nondescript type. What we want to dlo in England is to establisha breed 'of 'light active, clean 'logged cart horses 'to work on farms wfheretdheland is not too heavy, instead of the plnlderous and delicate shirehorses, which are not tough emnough for activ'e service. Personally. Ibelieve the Pereheroi is the best strain to encmour-tage-they have domevery well in America, and I hlieve wou'ld do equally well ini Australia.We have bought am enormous number of artillery horses inAmerica, fine horses, the result of a 1Percheronm cross. TheAmerican mule has beeni a perfect revelation to ma'uy people--allof then as quiet as sheep, and the pec-entajge of mnulcs to horses ini allveterinary 'hospitals, and the wastage of mu'lme coimuparod to horses isvery mmal. We have bought themi in three classes, a few heav'' mimules16/171 hands, weighing from 13/1,500 lbs., for 'use with the heavy gunsin Egypt. A'rtwlery draught muls, 15.2, weighing about 1.100 lbs. andw'hat we call "carters," that is, mules about 45 hands, which can goin draught in the 'limbered service waggos, and allo carry packs, ifneee.sary. I wish Australia would take to mule breeding. I fancy that

wrhen her soldliIrs go homc, t~hey will, all of then, have nlothing batpraie for the Amrican bred munle. I em 9sie it ~would pay Anustrlia tosend a co'nlmji~ion to North Amlerica to study b~eeding~ horses for armyrequireflbft, andl also mules.''In conclhsiol, perhps I should ~pogie for the length of thereort, burt it ia y deire to convey any informeatiil I have acquired onldhr su~bject, and to rose Quceneladrs to its iiuportelnce. I aussurd theautorities that tlhe National A~ssociation wold do alil in their power tobring about the imlprovemlent in horse breeding. and I trust all theagriculturni and pastoral societies wil1 do their best to a~sit.''THE MILING COMPETITIN8.This year there wee twenty-eight entries for the Homleilking Competitions, ad eightytwo for tests on the grounds,these gures easily cnstitute a reclord.Trhe competitions are now firmly established in popularitv.and quite apart from uaanteeing beyond question the aggre.gate worth of eadh breed (or grade), and individual worth ofealch cow of that breed (or grade). iThe competitions ave1)een respnsble 15r thle great. anmual improveent in utilitywhich hlas becoe a noticeale feature inl our hrds.STATEMENT OF ATTENDANCES OF THE COUNCIL.Mlac(laI. .. . .. .
